Claudian's Eagle.

The Eagle doth not let his Eaglets rove,
Till th' Sun doth their Legitimacy prove.
When kindly heat doth the ripe Brood reveal,
And swelling Births do break the tender shell;
He turns his unfledg'd Off-spring to the sky,
And bids them look on Heaven with daring Eye.
Well the discerning Rays he views, to see
What will their Nature, Strength and Vigor be.
The Spurious Bird, that can't the Sunbeams bear,
His Father's Talons do in pieces tear:
But He, that views the Sun with daring sight,
Nor shrinks at, what dazzles all else, the Light;
Nurs'd up with love becomes his Father's Heir
Destin'd the mighty Thunderer to bear.
